Ten years of trump has changed me. In 2016, I really believed in Hillary's plans to help people involved in the coal industry transition to the 21st century economy. Now I support shutting coal down completely and just letting them all starve to death.

I keep reading how Republicans requiring voters to show passports will disenfranchise voters. But have Republicans stopped to realize that Democrats are more likely to have passports than Republicans?

What if we had an entire foreign policy based on the petty resentments and insecurities of mediocre weak men?
Trump: "So I put on a 30% tariff, which is very low. I got an emergency call from I believe the prime minister of Switzerland. She was very aggressive ... I didn't really like the way she talked to us, so instead of giving her a reduction, I raised it to 39%."

The only thing Trump & Republicans are delivering is higher grocery bills, rent, utilities, and health care costs.

As I said a few days ago, 2 things can be true at once:
1. Many people *are* using (((AIPAC))) as a dog whistle for antisemitism.
2. AIPAC *HAS* completely destroyed any credibility they had with their heavy-handed & nonsensical tactics.
Anyway, Mazel Tov to @analiliafornj.bsky.social.
